BPAL description: Damp grass, ivy leaves, morning glory, daisy, rose geranium, heliotrope, white gardenia, climbing roses, peppery nasturtium, phlox, begonia, verbena and sun-warmed herbs.
In the bottle: Strong, sharp, & green. Almost bitter.
On my skin: Wow, nasturtiums. Spicy-peppery- green. Grassy. Some gentler florals linger in the background as do some herbal notes. This most certainly evokes a garden - very outdoorsy!
Later: The florals have strengthened substantially; I can now detect the heliotrope and other florals I don't individually recognize. If I really sniff, I can get a bit of bergamot too. The nasturtium is less overpowering.
Summary: Spicy-herbal-floral. This one morphs alot, but in the long run it's quite lovely and balanced. I can see this being a great scent on men, though I like it on myself quite a bit. I think, unfortunately, that it's irritating my rosacea (even though I didn't put it on my face!). Alas.
